Great music belongs in a great city. And you—whether curious, casual, or a connoisseur—belong at Cincinnati Opera.

Cincinnati Opera's 105th anniversary season! You are invited to join us as we bring the magic of opera to our region with the return of grand operas that audiences have been clamoring for, as well as a return—for the first time in four decades—to presenting a masterpiece of musical theatre.

Leading up to the season, there will be an engaging variety of free educational and community programs including Opera Raps and fan-favorite Opera Goes to Church!, plus a suite of fun and entertaining events created by our Young Professionals.

RIGOLETTO

Music by Giuseppe Verdi
Libretto by Francesco Maria Piave

Rigoletto is a court jester with sharp wit and a merciless tongue. By cruelly mocking a grieving father, he sets in motion a tragic lesson in poetic justice. Featuring iconic arias like “Caro nome” and “La donna è mobile,” Verdi’s masterpiece sees Rigoletto become intimately familiar with the dangers of careless love, misguided vengeance, and the inescapable lesson that, under no circumstances, can you fool fate.

Location: Music Hall - Springer Auditorium
